Let’s face it, any security product fixed to a substrate in a public space is only as secure as its fixings, and key safes are no exception. The integrity of a key safe isn't solely reliant on its resistance to tampering and vandalism, although that's undeniably crucial; the quality and size of the fixings used to attach it to a wall are equally pivotal. Otherwise, it runs the risk of being easily removed from a wall in a matter of minutes, if not seconds, potentially causing a prope...
